One of o .le most extraordinary documents that ever ap peared it 1 the columns of The Sun will be found in our journal o f to-day, in the form of an extract, from a pam phlet just published by the Messrs. RIDGWAY, and headed " onfederation of Gaul." It purports to be " a copy of a Diplomatic paper, taken at St. Petersburg, in 1856, Ffrom an ori2inal document in the secret archives of the It.;s sian Cabinet ;" and from-the Preface of the editors, which -we prefix to it, there appears every ground for believing that, if genuine, it was drawn up under the immediate direction of the Emperor NICHOLAS. But, whether it be authentic cr not, we have at present no means what ever of ascertaining, 'and therefore cannot undertake to express any opinion upon the subject. ,A. Morning Journal, the modesty of which is equal to it•q accuracy, supplies its readers to day with the following 'Curious information : Radical Popery gives to the empire the Irish labouring classes, who, with many good qualities which are found useful to their employers, are so destitute of s.nything like moral Government of themselves, that wherever they go their behaviour becomes a humiliation and - a disgrace to the human species. Modern Whiggery and the theories of the political economists, give us a manufacturing population whose life con sists of a:ternate scenes of slavish toil, and more slavish debauchery. Unhappiness and degradation arc the prominent characteristics of that ,huge mass of the labouring population to which the moral misdirection of Popish Radicalism and politico economic Whiggery most directly applies. • __ If our Contemporary be correct the capitalists who derive such immense advantages from the competition cf Irish labourers, the State which is defended by their arms, and, the whole empire which is aggrandised and strength eased by their labours, ought to regard Radical Popery, which gives them all those great advantages, as essential to their greatness and their happiness, and ought to cherish it as their best arl most indispensable friend. We have, however, some doubts as to our recondite Contemporary's ass..lrtion, particularly as the conclusion appended to it, that the behaviour of the Irish labouring classes is a humiliation and disgrace to the human species, considering how they toil honestly to get their bread, and how careful they are to remit much of what they get to their homes, seems much more the offspring of national antipathy than correct observation. Modern Whiggery and the theories of political economy are almost as powerful and useful according to the Post, as Radical Popery. Unfortunately for their reputation, it happens that the manufacturingpopulat ion was called into ex istence whileWhiggery was very much at a discount, and when the theories of political economy were known to very few persons. It would, indeed, be something to boast of for the professors of that science, if they could say with the Post, that their theories " give" us our" manufacturing popula tion," which, notwithstanding the evil characteristics the Post ascribes to them, are for skill, ingenuity, knowledge, and the wealth they create, by far the most astonishing population of the wide world, and the most important limb of this mighty empire. But no such honour, we are afraid, belongs to Messrs. SMITH, MALTHUS, RICARDO, and M'CuLtocx, and they can as little claim by their theories to have given us our manufacturing popu lation; sa NEWTON could claim to be the author of the solar system. All these philosophers are more modest than the Post supposes, and claim merely the merit of observing and classifying facts, not of creating people and empires. The Post is, we hope, quite as much in error as to the characteristics it ascribes to our manufacturing popu lation, as the source of their existence ; and if it were not to express that hope and to reprobate such misdirected abuse of the most useful classes in the empire, we should not have thought its ridiculous errors worthy of an observation. If our Contemporary wish to be convinced of the in justice of his assertions as to the English manufacturing population, he has only to read his own report of Marshal SOULT'S speech, and consult as to the character of the Irish the excellent Report of the Railway Commissioners, to which we referred on Friday and Saturday. By the Packet-ship, England, which arrived at Liver pool, on Saturday, from New York, we have received a file of American Journals and Letters, to the evening of the 2d instant inclusive. We have likewise received Montreal and Quebec Papers of the 26th ult. The pro ceedings of Congress were attracting an extraordinary de gree of attention. Mr. BUCHANAN 'S Special Deposit Bill, which was brought in as an amendment upon Mr. WEBSTER'S Bill on the same subject was finally re jected by a majority of twenty-nine votes to twenty-four— to the great mortification of the JACKSONIANS and VAN BURENITES. On the 30th ult. Mr. W RIGHT brought in a new Bill to susp en d till O c t o b er nex t th a t par t o f th e De posit Act of 1836, which prevented the receipt by the Treasury of the bills of banks which issued small notes after the month of July in that year. Upon this bill Mr. WEBSTER proposed as an amendment that the Secretary of the Treasury should be allowed to appoint the small-note banks, depositaries of the public revenue, in common with the other banking institutions ; whereupon, to the no small surprise of the Opposition, Mr. WRIGHT rose and moved the substitution of a clause, virtually placing the public revenue of the States under the immediate and irresponsi ble controul of the Executive. This amendment was car ried by a majority of twenty-six votes to twenty-one ; but the conviction that it would be indignantly rejected by the :House of Assembly was so general, as scarcely to admit of a doubt of its correctness. The effect of the adoption of such a measure would be to enable the PRESIDENT to sub vert half the banking institutions throughout the Union, and to render the rest little better than the tools of the Executive. With such a potent instrument of general corruption at its disposal, it would be hardly possible for an ambitious Government to resist the many temptations fe.,.t would offer for violating the liberties of the people. Lord DUR H AM has appoined a General Commission of TLquiry respecting the value of the Crown Lands, and the he mole of enc o ur ag ing emigration to her M AJESTY'S Colonies in North America. The Commission consists of Mr. CHARLES BULLER as Chief Commissioner, and Messrs. RICHARD DAVIES and HANSON, and the Honour able HENRY PETRE as Secretary and Assistants. Circular letters dated June 18, have been addressed to the Lieu tenant-Governors respectively instructing them to render the Commissioners every assistanc e in their power. • The frontier Journals confirm the account pretionly recei ved of the total defeat and dispersion of the Canadian rebels at Short-hills on the 25th ult. Tho. troops principally em ployed were Indians, who surrounded them on all sides. We are neither informed as to the number of the killed or captured, though it appears that most of the latter are Americans. Some twenty ring-leaders were seized and Carried to Chippewa, where preparations were making for • trying them by a Court-martial, which was expected to sit on the 276, or the day following. NEW YORK--MONEY MARKET, &C., JVLY 2.—The Stock Market of Saturday was extremely heavy, and a desire to realize on the part of holders being manifested, a very considerably decline in the prices of most descriptions resulted. NJ sales of United States Bank were effected. Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, closed at 83, a falling off of I per cent.; Harlem Railroad Company deeined 11; Mohawk Railroad Com pany. s ; New Jersey Railroad Company, about 1 per cent. The market closed heavily. Exchange on London, for the steam-boat Sirius, which sailed on Saturday evening, ruled towards the close of the day at 7y to 8 per cent. premium, and sf, 27c. on France, Leing a further decline since the sailing of the Great Western on the 25th ult. of about I per cent. `Exchange on London at New Orleans, on the 23d ultimo, was at 124- to 134, and on New York at short sight at 6 per cent. premium, being rather lower rates than those current the week previous. The Banks generally were discounting all Food business paper ; and good notes bearing mortgage were readily negociated cut of doors at 10 to 12 per exit. per annum. A small pamphlet, entitled " The New Poor-law Justi fied," has just been published by RIDGWAY. It is written by the Rev. CHRISTOPHER NEVILE, who, as an ex-offielo Guardian of the Lincoln Union, has enjoyed the best op portunity of judging of the actual operation of the law and who_bas diligently availed himself of the facilities which his situation afforded Line from a conscientious desire to ascertain the truth, and to communicate it to others, whose minds might be in doubt on a subject confessedly of the utmost importance, as well as of general interest. To what political party Mr. NENTLE belongs, there is nothing in the pamphlet before us to indicate ; and this we regard as a eir ' cumstance which adds greatly to its value. The Rev. Gentle man no doubt felt that a question which has so important a bearing on the coadition, temporal as well as spiritual, of the great Miss of the labouring population, ought to be approached - with " a pnee heart," and under a deep sen-:e of that awful responsiLlity which he incurs who leans to the one side o the other, witl!out being firmly " persuaded in his own mind." The opinion of such a man as Mr NEVILE mu et therefore necessarily carry with it great weight ; and when we find that opinion expressed in such language 'as this—" I conscientiously believe that no mea sure was ever payed more likely to conduce to flee Welfare and prosperity of the country"—we rejoice at the effect wltieh it must produce on the minds of those who CO:. really scekirg for information as to the working of the law, and the spirit with which it is administered. Thee persons are far from numerous, and must not be confound d with the unprincipled party cacklers who, though still less numerous, endeavour to make up in clamour p... 14 misrepresentation what they want in numbers and resptctab.lity. We intended to intersperse four extracts from Mr. NEvir.E's Pamphlet, z-ith remarks of our own ; but we are prevented from don tiis by the great and daily in creasing demands upon our space. Nor, indeed, is it ne cessary. .The author's views of the effects of the Poor law as it was, and as it is, are so just in themselves, and so perspicuously express d, that they require not the aid of the commentator to illustrate them. We have merely marked, by asterisks, the places where we have been obliged to i!;terrupt the continuity of the reasoning. The great principle that laws must be made for nations, not for in dividuals, appzars to have been entirely overlooked in the opposition which has been shown to the New Poor law.' Immense importance has been attached to a few exaggerated cases of hardship, and they have been taken up as if the fate of the Bill ought to be decided by them. In this, and in all similar questions, we should consider the effect upon all classes collectively. But lam willing to meet the opponents of the mea sure upon ground about which there can be no dispute. Whether the New Poor-law is calculated to increase the welfare and happiness of the poor thems.lves ? We must take the whole body of poor in the kingdom, in all districts, and under all circumstances, and we must consider the in. direct and future, as well as the direct and present consequences. We must have a thorough understanding, not a verbal admission, of the enor_ mous evil of the old law. There are many of the opponents of the New Law, who I am sure do not give this argument its due weight. They have had their attention, now for the first time, called to the con dition of the poor. They know little of the vice, the drunkenness, the improi idcnce, the hardship and the suffering which was of daily occur rence, and was rapidly increasing under the old law. They can form no conception of it from their own casual observation. They ought to read the report of the first commission of enquiry, which consisted of two Bishops and five other persons. As I fear they will not do so, I will make an extract from it. This is taken from a long and circum stantial account of the state of the parish of Choleshury, Buckingham shire, by the Rev. H. Jeston, the rector " The land almost wholly abandoned, (sixteen acres only, including cottage gardens, being now in cultivation), the poor thrown on the rates, and set to work upon the roads and gravel pits, and paid for this unpro fitable labour at the expense of another parish I I have given up a small portion of my glebe (the rest is abandoned on account of the rates assessed on it) to the parish officers, rent free for the use of the poor, on condition that spade husbandry only be made use of, and the work done by married men with large families, but the employment this can afford must be of short duration." " The able-bodied poor and the boys are, I have just observed, deteriorating physically and morally, by reason of the want of useful and productive employment, and of their receiving parish allowance, without any chance of bettering themselves by any exertion or good conduct. The rates were 325. in the pound. The population had increased in thirty-one years from 122 to 139, whilst' the poor rates had in the same time increased from 371. a year to 3671." The least attention to this report will shew first, that it is highly deserving of credit, and secondly, from the innumerable communications from other places, that in time, most parishes in this country would have been in the same state as Cholmbury. That the effect of the old law was to demoralize the poor, and render them improvident, there call be no doubt. It was favourable to the sturdy able.bodied and idle paupers, and unfavourable to the aged and infirm, who are the proper objects of relief. It induced early mar riages; discouraged all skill in different kinds of work; Ives fast reducing the smaller rate-payers to pauperism, and would inevitably have involved all classes of society in one common ruin. Amongst the vast number of authorities for such a view of it, I would refer to two only. Mr. Walker, the late experienced police magistrate, says in a pamphlet on pauperism : " The extent to which deceit and self-abasement enter into the composition of pauperism is quite inconceivable, except to those who have as it were anatomized the subject. The whole life of a pauper is a lie his whole study imposition; he lives by appearing not to be able to live : he will throw himself out of work, aggravate disease, get into debt, live in wretchedness, persevere in most irksome applications, nay, bring upon himself the incumbrance of a family, for no other purpose than to get his share from the parish. It is his constant aim to make every thing he has of as little value as pos- sible; and he is consequently often obliged to throw away advantages, and to use those he keeps so as to be of little comfort to him. He necessarily becomes what he feigns to be, and drags after him, without remorse, his family, and all within his influence; such is the operation of the Poor-law, that deceit and self-abasement, in various degrees, may be taken to be the very essence of pauperism." " We have had from these causes a painful instance of the connexion of economical and moral evil. The moral havoc has indeed been corn plete.• The honesty of the labourers, their self-respect, their value for their character as workmen, all hope of bettering their condition in life by good conduct, industry, and prudence; their sense of their mutual duties and claims as parents and children ; all feelings and habits, in short, that contribute to make men good citizens and good men, have been undermined and impaired, or utterly destroyed. No remedy for these evils in the condition of the poor deserves the name of a wise and statesmanlike measure, which is not of a nature sufficiently compre hensive to offer some promise of bringing healing and health to all those diseased points." He then recommends small allotments of land or some other plan to enable the agricultural districts to do "what must be effectually done if the moral mischief is to be eradicated, and that is, to annihilate the connexion between the able-bodied labourers and those laws, and for ever." The general arguments in favour of the new Bill are very strong indeed. The almost unanimous consent of men of all parties, which in the present state of politics is an extraordinary testimony in its favour. It is impossible that such men as the Duke of Wellington, Duke of Richmond, Earl Spencer, Lord Stanley, Sir Robert Peel, and Sir James Graham should combine to pass any measure really unjust and oppressive to the poor. Men of such high character, wealth, and station in society, must be free from the suspicion of any improper or interested motives. And surely with their great talents and extensive information, they are far less likely to be mistaken in their opinion than any men in private life. In the fac e o f suc h power f u l suppor t, we n e e d not be surprised that so little should have been effected either in or out of Parliament by the most violent language, the most exaggerated and false statements, even with the aid of the press. If the cause is a good one against the New Peor Law, it ought not to require the assistance of anonymous slanders and distorted f ac t s . An appeal to the reason wou ld be sufficient without appealing to the pasAons. How has it happened that the famous Bridgewater case has Lever been taken up, and the offending parties prosecuted ? Lord Wynford justly said, that the present laws afforded redress for any abuses of that sort. A Mr. Bull stated that a woman had been scourged, and sew admits that the report was without foundation. What reliance can ever be placed in a quarter where such a statement was hazarded with a bare possibility of its being untrue ? There may be great defects (and some there must always be) in the working of the New Bill, but they are to be removed by the cheerful assistance of all parties, not by the intemperate abuse of one party, by the other. Repealing the Bill against such a vast majority must be a hopeless case, and the opponents of the measure would do well to imi tate Sir Robert Peel, who will oppose a Bill with all his talents, but when beaten, exert those same talents to render A I as perfect as possible. If there are some cases of hardship under the New Law which would not have occurred under the old, the question is whether the immense general benefit to the poor themselves, by the encouragement of habits of industry, sobriety, and providence, and the gradual increase of wages and employment, will not vastly overbalance that partial evil ? It appears hard that an able bodied man should be denied relief out of the workhouse, when he is desirous to get work and cannot do it. But if absolute want is to be unaccompanied by any hardship, nobody would endeavour to avoid it. It is proposed by Lord Wynford tb offer him work, but how is he to be compelled to do it as he ought to do ? 'Where is the line to be drawn ? Whose testimony is to be relied upon in such conflicting statements as would be made in such innumerable cases Where is the discretion to be found to decide upon such testimony? When all the respectable and opulent classes of society are obliged to wait till there is a prospect of maintaining a wife and family before they marry—what right has a youth of twenty-one years to leave his service and marry without such a prospect, and then expect that the prudent and industrious classes are to find him relief or work, at his own home and in his own way. They now offer him harbour, food, and clothing, liable to certain regulations, the most obnoxious of which is separation from his wife. It has been a'iundantly shown that no order or decency can be preserved in any workhouse without such separation ; it is not therefore a voluntary and unnecessary punishment of poverty. It must be remembered that temper ry g• rqtit nis subinitt,cl to by thousands of married couples, to say nothing of the officers in the army and navy, where it is rendered necessary for the provision of their children or themselves. If every married man was accommodated with a separate THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23, 183 S. apartment in the workhouse, and had the society of his wife and children, with sufficient food and clothing, how many men would be fourd to support themselves ? or who would eventually be fcund to support them P ........_ . The diet tables have been stated to be at the starving point, and in sufficient to support life long together. That that is not the intention, or the nrce,sary consequence of the law I run perfectly sure; what other Unions may do I know not, Int let any person examine the workhouse at Lincoln ; let him compare the food, in quantity and quality, with that in which very many of the rate-payers live. Let him compare the condition of the inmates, with an equal number of persons in the same situation of life elsewhere, indiscriminately taken. Let him examine the paupers themselves, and ascertain whe. ther any well-founded cause of complaint exists. My con viction, from strict personal examination, is, that they live much better than many of the rate-payers can atnrd to do. Statements are made of the rate of mortality in the workhouse, compared to that of the convicts in the hulks. The parties making them forget to mention that the con victs are generally in the prime of life. The inmates of the workhouse are almost all children under fourteen years of age, or old and infirm people. It is quite evident that victory, not truth, is the object on those occasions. Great complaint has been made of the medical treatment of the pau. pers. The impossibility of their having proper attendance has been argue,l, front the price paid for it, and instances have been given where lives might have been saved by better attendance and more expensive medicines. Are those who think the paupers soneglect;.d acquainted with the habits and circumstances of the cottagers and artizans, who are struggling hard to pay their poor-rates, to prevent their becoming pau. pers themselves ? Where and how are they to obtain the attendance afforded to paupers? Where are they to get the port wine, bark, sago, and other articles, which we are told we ought to find for paupers ? Can it be tree charity or justice to wring another shilling front the hard earnings of these poor and industrious people for such a purpose ? Is it likely to encourage industry, and discourage improvidence ? But I will not stop here, I will look at small farmers occupying or owning forty or fifty acres of land. Let us consider what medical attendance they can afford for their wives and 'amities. 'I hey constitute a class which has quite escarted the notice of the wealthy and the charitable, as they never 1 esk assistance, and do not come in contact with them. I will venture 1 to stete, from my own knowledge, that we are findin g better medical re. lief for the paupers, in the Lincoln Union , than many o f the rate- p a y ers are able to find for themselves. What we pay for it rests between the guardians and ourselves. Neither the poor nor the opponents of the New Law have any thing to do with it. Many lives may be loot amongst the poor, which alight have been saved by daily attendance and expensive medicines, but that is not confined to the class of paupers. 1 It is one of the evils assigned by Providence, in some degree, to all classes, who aro not opulent, and one to which the very class of sual farmers I have mentioned are liable. And a parish pauper has no more right to expect daily attendance, and expensive medicines for his wife or family, than a clergyman with a small income has to winter at Naples or Florence. The consolation in e,.ch case must be that the remedy is out of the reach of the party requiring it. . The Bastardy clauses are considered cruel and iniquitous, as punishing the victim, not the seducer, and as lading to infanticide. In this case, as in all others, the law must be regtrele as applying to the many not to the few, Let any active Magistra'e be asked, how many of the women brougl.t before him undrr the old law could property be considered as the victims of unprincipled men ? Would the answer be one in ten, or one is twenty ? Women who have, as it is said, lost their characters, are ex cluded from ; encral society in the upper classes. Punishment might as far as possible to be proportioned to the guilt of the parties upon whom it fa:ls ; and many instances of this kind may be found where it would be almost reduced to nothing by particular circumstances : and in those cases it must be cruel and unjust in its operation. If some women should commit infanticide, or even suicide, to avoid such disgrace, would it be a good argument that society were wrong and cug,lit to ad mit such women to prevent similar calamities ? Surely not: but you must admit all or none ; you cannot institute an inquiry into each case. Nero again, what may be very hard upon the few, may he positively ne. cessary for the welfare of the many. Lord Wynford considers that where a woman must be very uncertain who is the father of the child, it is a great hardship that she should, be obliged to take an oath upon the subject, or at least, that it should be put to her to the best of her belief. Can there be a person found who could deliberately object to any woman in such a situation being compelled to maintain the child herself? The expence of rnaintainance applied as a punishment to the putative father, is of all method a the worst and most ineffectual. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. They contain some statements of considerable interest. It was reported and believed in Paris that King LEOPOLD, who was to leave that capital yesterday for Brusseli, bad been prevailed upon to consent to the cession of Luxemburg and Limburg to Holland. His MAJESTY, however, positively refused to grant any indemnity to King WILLIAM, though strongly pressed by Louis PHILLIPPE to sign the twenty-four ar ticles, and leave England and France to take measures for guaranteeing the honour, independence, and pecuniary interests of Belgium. Sir GEORGE VILLIERS, the British Ambassador at the Court of Madrid, arrived in Paris on Thursday evening, on his way to London. On the same day the Duke de NEMOURS arrived at the Chateau at Neuiliy. The Royal dinner-table was graced on Thursday by the presence of every member of the Royal Family—including those branches by affinity, the King of the BELGIANS and the Duchess Of ORLEANS. The Liberal Journals complain loudly and bitterly of the official war which is now carried on against the Press. It appears that at no period since the Revolution of July was public opinion in France so arbitrarily restricted. On Thursday the Police seized and sealed up the printing presses of the Liberal, of Douay, under-the pretence of their being employed in the printing of seditious pamphlets. This despotic act was preceded by no form of trial, accu sation, or even inquiry. A letter from Rome intimates that Marshal BEAUMONT is at the head of a Miguelite and French Legitimatist ex pedition, which is preparing to sail from Sicily for the cap ture of Madeira. We cannot conclude the Marshal to be such a madman as to attempt anything of the sort. The Landammann of the canton of_Schweytz, and another individual, have lost their lives in an affray between the two factions whose struggles have all but kindled the flames of civil war in Switzerland. We greatly fear that these disorders will furnish a pretext for the sinister interference of the Prussian and Bavarian Governments. The following are extracts from the French Journals The Journal du Havre of the 20th says—" The Marquis d'Eyraques, Secretary of Legation to Marshal Soult, arrived here yesterday on board the Phoenix steamboat. " It is affirmed that Marshal Soult will leave London on the 29th to return to Paris, and that he will come through Havre. The Marshal is to make the voyage on board the Government steamboat the Meteore. " Orders have been given in this town for the reception of the Marshal." We have received the Barcelona journals to the 13th. Baron de Meer left that city on the 11th with his staff. It is affirmed that he is going to attack Belga, where the Count d'Espagne is, who lately arrived from France, and has taken the command of the Carlist troops of the principality. A strong convey, accompanied by four howitzers and several pieces of heavy cannon, left Barcelona on the 7th. An attack to bring about a final union seems to be imminent. Every thing announces that it will be this time carried on seriously. If we may believe the accounts which we receive from the frontier the Count d'Espagne is not the person weak in body and mind that he has been represented. He should seem to have acted his assumed part, with great skill. The old Captain General of Catalonia is said to be now with all his faculties as he used to be, and displaying his natural activity. Numbers of the defenders of the cause of the Pretender continued to desert ; not only privates but officers of all ranks ; some go to their homes; others present themselves to the authorities to make their sub mission. To supply the deficiency this occasioned, the Junta of Berga has ordered a general levy of all young men and widowers, from the age of seventeen to forty-five, in the principality of Catalonia. It re.. mains to be seen how this measure will be executed, which is a counter. part of the general blockade ordered by the same junta. Baron de Meer has answered this order of a blockade by a prohibition for pro visions or goods of any description being sent from Barcelona, or any of the fortified places in Cata7onia, unless they are destined for a place occupiedby the Queen's troops. Those who transgress this order will he punished, for the first offence, by the confiscation of the goods ex ported ; and for the second by ten years' banishment to the Philippine Islands.—Le Commerce.

Pow, the circumstances attending whose death have already been the subject of such prolonged investi. gation, touk place this morning at twelve o'clock, at the Globe, London. street, From the groat number of persons assembled round the house, it was evident that tke excitement concerning the unfortunate event is still undiminished. The inquest room was crowded to excess. Mr. BODKIN appeared for Dr. Miers, with a solicitor. Mr. T. Maber, landlord cf the Crown, New Cut, Lambeth, dcposrd that he had known the deceased for about two years to be very sickly, but about three - weeks ago saw him rather better. Since the death of deceased had some conversation with Mrs. Pow, who used expressions calculated to ra,ke him believe that the death arose from excessive drinking. But his (witness's) reply was, "Your conduct has been infamous." Had seen the newspaper accounts then ; but, knowing Mrs. Pow to Le a married woman, he should have made the same remark had he not seen them. Mr E. Eatt, an assistant of Westminster Hospital, stated that de. ceased had beeo admitted into the Hospital on the 21st June, for deli rium tremens, and was treated for that disorder. On the 3d of July left the Hospital rather convalescent, but against witness's recorrmendation. Cross.examined by Mr. BODKIN—In cas2s of delirium tremens gin and. wine are administered in the hospital ; thrce ounces of gin or four ounces of wine per day, more would be dangerous. But he had known larger quantities given. Would not be surprised to find a pa tient who had laboured under this disease becoming after a time bad again. _ _ . Examined by the CORONER, at the instance of Mr Treedy—Spirits ought not in such a case to be administered by an ignorant person ad BLitt nt. Ehould not think a patient under delirium tren,:ens bhoull cat lamb and pEas. Stimuli ought not to b, given where the patient com plained of pain in the stomach, or if there was inflammation in the stomach, By a AMOR —Considered Weeding wrong in a case of delirium tre. MC224. eil.ecially in convulsions, By Mr. BODiIN-1 should do nothing to a patimt in convulsions, but . leave it to nature. After the patient recovered from the paroxyrn, I should most likely give stimuli. Had , een 4oz of spirits given in such a case, and thinks he has heard of 6 oz. SHIPPING.-(TillS DAY.)

The rumour of the convocation of the Cortes Was general in Lisbon, but the day is not fixed. We have a report that the Queen of Portugal is put to bed with twins. Tli F FUNDS.

The object of this informatiOn was to carry into execution certain charitable trusts, founded by the Will of Thomas Whitehead. By the decree it was referred to the Master to settle and approve of the proper scheme for the management of the charity estates arid the enlargement of the charity ; for the application of the rents of the estates ; and the proper regulation of the schools and hospitals; and the Master was to state such scheme, with his opinion, to the Court, whethdr for the purpose of effecting such scheme, it might or might not be ' necessary to apply for the aid Of Parliament. By the report it appeared the relators had propo.-ed us part of their scheme, that five cottages and certain land should be purchased for any sum not exe,e,ling 6001. and that on the sic thereof, a schoiol house and' residence for the master's family should be erected, at ; an expense not exceeding 500/. ; and it was proposed that that report, should be confirm: d. • The MASTER of the Ilocta was of opinion that such a purchase would be contrary to the policy attic stature of George the Second, and the usual practise of tire Court; therefore it must he referred back to the Master to provide for those objects in some other manlier. CARTER V. GOETZE .----JUDGM ENT. The bill in this case prayed a declaration that the defendant procured the plaintiff to execute certain articks of agreement by misrenresenta-• tion and fraud ; that such articles were fraudulent, and void as against the plaintiff; that the same might be ordered to be caneelled e and that the defendant might be restrained from prosecuting an action he had commenced for the non.performance cf the azeeeirent. The bill alleged the defendant reliresented himself to be IIf,E.Q.Z.Sed of a secret mode of mahing steruyna, and of refining oil in the manufaeture cf sterbyne; that Le proposed to communicate such secret to the plaintiff on certain terms, to which the plaintifr agreed; and in 1636, an agreement Was executed between the plaintifi' and defendant, by which it was agreed that the defendant solicit!, within a fortnight, coii;•ert, on the prerMses, a ,ulllcierit quantity of atimal and vegrtebie matter into sturbyne and maned oil, in such a way as to enable the plaintiff to ascertain the eN;iense thereof, as far as could be without disclesMg the secret; and if the sterbyne and oil manufactured should net, the .oprricn of the pLintiff, or the referees to be appoint,d in case the plaintiff and the defend:re t should differ, be equal •in quality to a specimen referred to, the plaintiff might put an end to the agreeinent ; but if no attempt was made to determine the agreement, the agreement was to continue in force for seven years, and the defendant was within a fortnight after the Ist of Febreary, on the decision of the referees, to furnish the Vaintilf with a written statement of particulars of the secret, and to in , truct the plain. tifFand his son in the use of the same. The plaintiff was to manufac. ture a cert in quantity, to keep regular ace,unts, and to make certain proportionate payments to the defendant, and both parries convenanted they would not, without the consent cf the other, divulge the secret, and woul,l crake a careful use of the smie, with a v is pr,vent closure. The bill then alleged the defendant in pursuance of the agreement attempted to iranufa?ture sterbyne anti refined oil accord ing to his allcgal secret inttlictl, but that the experiment failed, and that the defendant was not in fact in possession of any secret—that he was tillable to manufncture steibyne, artificial spermaceti, and re fitted oil, and was ignorant of the suede of making the slime. The fur tlm• alleged tied, relying on the repre,entatis of the de fendant, anti bring deceived thereby, he did ru,t put an end to the agr;:ement, but that tire defendant procured him to execute the articles of agreement by representing he was possessed of a secret which in fact he was not, and that no such secret was ever communicated. On these grounds the plaintiff c!amed to be relieved from the contract. - To this buil the defendant put in a demurrer and answer. The demurrer was so much of the bill as sought a disclosure of the alleged secret, or of anything which might lead to such disclosure. The answer was to the rest - of the discovery, and to all the relief sought by the bill. All the alleged fraud was denied by the answer, and in support of the demurrer it was argued, the plain tiff, having covenanted not to divulge the secret, was not entitled to call fur a disclosure of it to all the world by filing a bill in equity. _ The alas Tan of the ROLLS, in giving judgment, said the plain. tiff ought to be at liberty to establish the case of fraud if he could; and if it wore true that the only mode In which such a fraud could be established was to compare that which the defendant a:leged to be his secret, with that which was commonly or previously known to other persons, it would seem a disclosure was nec , es_ sary, even for the trial of the cease. As the defendant had not demurred to the relief, the plaintiff was at liberty to prove all the facts necessary for establi,hirg Iris case, that fraudulent representations had beers made. lie was also at liberty to require the usual discovery, unless the defendant was entitled to some particular exemie ion ; and it was dilacult to see how the defendant could rely on the agreement as affordiag him exemption in a case where the validity of tire agreement was the very question at issue between the parties. If a men made a va:uable discovery in manufacture and chose to keep it eezret, he might avail him,elf of that secret in any lawful way for his owo profit, either by himself or the aid of those in whom he confided ; or if he chose to disclose tile secret which he pos sessed, he might secure to himself the advantage afforded by a patent, but he could not ptocure another person to enter into an engagement with him, by alleging he had a secret, without at the same time subject ing himself to an enquiry whether there was a secret or not ; and such an enquiry could not be conducted without leading to a disclosure of the secret. A man by entering into such a contract, did not mean to deprive himself or the benefit of the law ; and if the law was appealed to, the Court could not deal with the parties without instituting an enquiry whether it was a secret or not. On these grounds it did not appear to his Lord ship the defence could be sustained, even if brought forward in a man ner free front objection in point of form. If the agreement was valid, there would, as between these parties, be a secret which ought to be preserved; but the bill alleged there was no secret, and the defence that there was a secret was not stated by way of plea, which would jus tify a partial demurrer, but by way of answer covered by demurrer; and it was a demurrer to discovery, without being a demurrer to relief; a demurrer, as Lord Thurlow had expressed h, " not to the thing re quired, but to the means by which the thing was to he obtained." On the whole his, Lordship was of opinion that the demurrer must be over. ruled. THE iMARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN .EXCHANGE. In the past week there were moderate arrivals of both Grain and Fbiur, and the trade experienced no variation. This morning there has been a fair fresh supply of Wheat, and of other Grain moderate. The weather continuing favourable, causes the dex and for every article to be slack. The best parcels of ‘V heat obtained the rates of this day se'smight ; for other qualities there was a dull sale, and rather lower prices were taken. _Barley, Beans, and Pease met little demand, and are unchanged in value. The business doing in Oats is to a moderate ex tent, and prices remain the same as last quoted. The bakers purchas Flour with much hesitation, at the present prices. A RD CF SHIP.

We had again a very small supply of Wheat at this day's Market from the farmers, as well as moderate coasting arrivals, and our millers being needy buyers, the trade ruled brisk at an alvanee of 1 s. per quarter on the prices of last Saturday. We had very little Barley offering, and higher ra'es were obtained. Though the supply of Oats was small from the country, the arrivals continue unusually large from the coast, and the sale dull at our quotations Rye sold on rather better terms, without but the demand was by no means brisk.
